virtua Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hey guys, in my funding offer I have that "[some amount in dollars] per year" part, does that mean per academic year implying 9 months or it means year in general (12 months)?

TakeruK Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 You will have to check with the person who made the funding offer. One way to ask about it is whether the amount includes summer funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtua Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 I emailed, but unfortunately, no one answered so far My friend says it might look unethical to ask this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I don't know why it would be unethical. Funding considerations are entirely legitimate when deciding where to apply and where to go for school. The answer in this case might depend on field, and as @TakeruK suggests, asking about summer funding is a good way to find out. In my field, offers are almost always for 9 months (same as faculty salary, btw), but there are exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
